Including Introversion within Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging
Introverts account for about one in three people among all genders, races, ethnicities and ages. Unfortunately, the unconscious “extrovert ideal” present in many cultures leads to work environments in which introverts feel as if they don’t belong and where they earn and get promoted less than extroverts. In this session, Glen will share his experiences and insights from navigating the world of work as an introvert, make the case for including introversion in diversity, neurodiversity, and inclusion efforts and offer practical suggestions for creating environments in which introverts can bring their authentic selves to work.
